Isaw Zagorskaya only yesterday; she passed on to me
something from you.

Pleasesend us the article (on Liebknecht) as soon as
it is copied out. From what Zagorskaya said I could not
get an idea of the exact size of the article, but size is,
after all, not the main consideration: we can always make
room, and it will always be a pleasure to do so, for your
article.

Asregards the lady from Paris who is going to South
Russia in a month’s time, and wants recommendations. I
think the best thing to do is to introduce her to my sister,
who is now in Paris and will be staying there another three
weeks, if not more. If you agree with this plan, let us know
this lady’s name and address, and also write some little
note to present to her on your behalf (if that should be
necessary). Send it either to me, or to my sister (103 Rue
de la Glacière. M-lle Loukachevitsch,Paris. For Blank).

Ihear that you have sent a cushion and an English
journal over here. To what address, and for whom, if it was
markedpostlagernd[1]?

Zagorskaya could tell me nothing
about this.

Allthe very best,Yours,Petrov

P.S.I enclose a copy of our statement for
America.[2]Wedon’twant tocirculate it here—at any rate, certainly
not until it has appeared in Russia in sufficient quantities
(and we have had no news yet from Russia about this).
We have thought, therefore, of sending the statement at
present only to you and to G. V., but if you think itessentialto send it to America without waiting for news from
Russia, then of course do so.

Yours,Petrov

[2]Thestatement onIskra’s publication whose draft and final text
were written by Lenin (see present edition, Vol. 4, pp. 320–30,
351–56). The idea was to send it to the Russian Social-Democratic
Society in New York of which S. M. Ingerman was secretary (see
p. 46).
